2012 Honda Civic

admin — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:54:26 +0000

It is no surprise that the 2012 Honda Civic has gotten some of the best reviews in its class. The body style was carefully adjusted to prove the Civic’s evolution in time rather than a complete redesign. The vehicle is designed for comfort-ability, safety, and economic sustainability. The sculpted bumpers, swept back windshield, longer hood, and larger taillights are all a part of the 2012 Honda Civic’s charm. Some of the body style advancements also improve the Civic’s aerodynamics.
When I was sitting in the 2012 Honda Civic for the first time, I realized how comfortable the seat was before anything! No intrusive lumbar support and no awkward head rest. The two-tier display with digital speedometer above the analog tachometer was right where I needed it to be. The vehicle is designed for easy driving, the steering wheel does not block important displays from the driver like similar models. When I started driving the 2012 Honda Civic LX Automatic I was a little hesitant… I had been driving manual Honda Accords for over five years, needless to say speed and pickup are important to me when driving in Atlanta traffic. I was amazed at how the Civic drove though.

The 2012 Honda Civic is like no other automatic fuel efficient vehicle I have driven in the past. The 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with 140 hp is strong enough to feel its power on the road yet is still incredibly economic with 28 mpg in the city and 39 mpg oh highways! The gears changed flawlessly when I hit the gas getting onto the highway. I couldn’t hear a sound and the ride was indescribably smooth.

The multi informational display is fantastic as well, I could easily read what songs were playing while I was driving. The interior was very spacious with more leg room and shoulder room for the front and rear passengers. The 2012 Honda Civic is on an entirely different list when I compare it to all of the fuel efficient cars in its class. The style is sleek, the inside is comfortable and charming, visibility is perfect, and the drive was smooth and fast!

The most impressive part about the 2012 Honda Civic is how there are so many upgrades from the 2011 Honda Civic and so many options like the Hybrid, Coupe, HF, and Sedan… Yet the prices have largely unchanged! There are so many trim styles to chose from at, check out your Atlanta Dealer!

A Great Success – the 2009 Carland Food Drive

admin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 20:19:27 +0000

It has been a tough year for most people ! 401ks, housing market, unemployment, and a 6 and 6 season for FSU. This year allowed many of us to look around, and truly be thankful to hang on to what we have. Mike Hearing started as a sales consultant at Honda Carland in Roswell about 9 years ago. We all have meant the “Salt of the Earth” types, and Mike is one of those. Every year he would go buy bins and ask all the employees to bring in canned good items in November and toys in December. Mr Hearing would always buy at least 20 bikes and a truck load of turkeys - every year. This year we wanted to really make a difference! We all did and we all enjoyed giving.

This year was different, we really wanted to help out the families that have been struggling, we wanted to help make that Thanksgiving Day warmer, and that Christmas Morning more exciting. Bill Hughes the General Manager of the Carland Group wanted to have a customer appreciation night, and raffle off some prizes to help gain attendance. We all instantly wanted to make Hearing’s Food and Toy drive a part of this , so Mr Hughes decided to advertise to our customers to bring in canned food items in November and Toy Items in December. We would issue a raffle ticket for each food or toy item. Bill Hughes, Scott Henley, Kyle Campbell, and Keith Campbell agreed to provide 32′ Flat Screens for each event (6) on top of catering and other costs. We call some of our vendors like Cars.com, Autotrader, and Aspen Marketing, and they all donated prizes to help make these event enticing to our customers.

It was a complete success. Honda Carland, Honda Carland North, and Acura Carland brought over 3,000 canned good items for the food drive. Mike Hearing personally donated over 30 turkeys again! These events were never about the raffle- it was about the food drive, and the Carland Group was able to create a frenzy of giving! We had customers donating cases upon cases of food. Several customers made cash donations, and others returned several days later with more food. They all got it- it was about making a difference in someone else’s life! The customers are the ones that made the true difference, by coming out on a weekday night, and particpating in an event that helped others that they did not even know! Thank you, and we truly appreciate the opportunity of meeting and talking with each of you!

So, we have 3 more events scheduled – these will all conincide with the 9th Annual Carland Toy Drive! Same premise, bring in unwrapped toys, and we will issue you one ticket for each toy! The Carland Group will sponsor prizes ranging up to a 32″ Flat Screen TV, catering, and other service promotions. It is important for as many people to come and partipate! Please tell one and tell all! The kids will appreciate it . Have a wonderful Holiday Season, and please try to attend one of the following events!

Honda Accord Crosstour

admin — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 21:09:43 +0000

Accord Crosstour

In ten years of sales for Honda Carland in Roswell, GA, I have been asked over 20 times… “When is Honda going to do a new wagon?” Fact is, every time we received a 1995-1997 Accord Wagon-we sold them fast, and the customers that traded them absolutely loved them! The Accord Wagon discontinued in the mid to late 90s, and Honda went full steam ahead with the Odyssey! Today’s market is changing- the introduction of the “Crossover” vehicle combines styling and functionality. The Honda Odysseyhas set the standard for the minivan market since 1999. The Crosstour will set the stage for another specific market segment- The Suburbanite Supreme!

The all-new 2010 Accord Crosstour, going on sale this November. Based on the award-winning Honda Accord, the Accord Crosstour makes its own statement with enhanced utility, standard V-6 power and available 4-wheel drive.

Building on Honda’s longstanding reputation for maximizing space, the Crosstour offers sleek modern styling as well as a roomy and versatile interior.

The Honda Accord Crosstour highlights include:

* Levers in the cargo area that allow easy fold-down of the 60/40 split rear seatback
* A hidden, removable utility box
* Reversible floor panels (plush-carpeted and durable plastic sides)
* Available Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ with voice recognition*
The Honda Accord Crosstour is a must see in November, please visit free to visit www.shopcarland.comfor updates on the Crosstour! Pricing information will be updated as soon as it is published from Honda.
